Compact antenna array for diversity applications

摘要

An antenna array includes planar top and bottom conductive covers. Radiating elements each comprising a tapered notch antenna formed on a metallized dielectric board are disposed between the covers. Conductive septums are interleaved with the radiating elements. The top and bottom covers together with the septums define enclosures that house each of the radiating elements. At least some of the antenna boards and septums are gradually curved to reorient the radiated energy towards desired geographic areas.
